Definitions
- the invention concerns a method of manufacture and more particularly a method of speedily moulding heat curable compositions to form shaped articles.
- Patent application PCT/GB02/00230, published under no. WO 02/058174 on 25 July 2002, describes and claims an electrode for a battery, the electrode comprising a shaped substantially pore-free body of hardened resin and having electrical paths defined by contacting conductive particles. It is intended that by this reference the entire disclosure of this application is incorporated herein.
- the electrode is in flat form, i.e. a plate.
- Various methods of manufacture are disclosed, including manufacture by pressing a heat-curing or thermosetting composition in a heated mould.
- thin metallic foils are placed in the pressing moulds, the composition added, and a top foil applied, the mould is then closed and pressure is applied. The formed part is then ejected.
- the mould tool In order to maximise the rate at which such parts can be formed, it is preferred to have the mould tool operating at a high temperature to reduce the cure time. When raised to high temperatures the viscosity of the resin/hardener composition decreases in a few seconds and the composition commences to gel within a few more seconds.
- the invention provides a method of making an article comprising a heat-cured composition with a metallic foil, or a non-metallic sheet on one or more faces, the method comprising:
- the invention provides a multipart part jig for carrying out any two, three or four of the steps, the jig comprising a first part to provide the vessel to house the composition, and a second part to close the open top of the vessel, and a third part to withdraw the formed article from the mould.
- the method is particularly suitable for forming generally planar articles, with foils or sheets applied to one or more major faces thereof.
- Thermoset resins are particularly suitable for the manufacturing of good conductivity plates since they are handled in a hot press, which also presses the particles together for intimate electronic contact, and they may also shrink somewhat on curing, further pushing the particles together.
- Other candidate thermoset resins include epoxyphenols, novolac resins, bisphenol A based epoxy resins, bisphenol F epoxy resins; polyesters (saturated, unsaturated, isophthalic, orthophthalic, neopentylglycol modified, modified vinylester, vinylester urethane and the like.
- Low shrink and other additives may be included in commercial grades of these resins, provided that they do not have a detrimental effect on the chemical stability of the resin in the acid electrolyte.
- Some polymers have been shown to be unstable in the polarised presence of an acid electrolyte.
- Some commercial resins have a mould release agent preblended in the mixture and these should be avoided in this application since they can adversely affect the adhesion of the active battery materials and potentially affect the corrosion stability of the plate and also the surface chemistry (surface tension etc.) of the battery acid electrolyte.
- the chosen resin will preferably be one which is resistant to the electrolyte acid, especially where the electrode is for bipolar batteries.
- Coupling agents such as silanes to contact the surface of the particles may be used to improve the adhesion and wetting of the resin to the suboxide particles to enhance low porosity and high mechanical strength.
- the coupling and/or wetting agents (such as silanes and other surfactants) can be advantageously used on plates which do not have the metallic layer imposed.
- the pasting of the plates is carried out in the usual way, with conventional leady oxide paste or other lead containing pastes.
- the existence of the impressed surface features means that a controlled volume of paste is applied to the grid area of the plates; pasting with thicker or thinner layers can be managed by having the grid higher or lower. It is also possible, by adjusting the shape of the mould to have some areas with thick paste and other with thin paste in order to optimise the discharge characteristics of the battery.
- the paste on the electrode can be cured in the usual way.
- a battery With cured plates, a battery may be assembled using a number of bipolar plates, appropriately oriented, and a single positive monopole at one end and a single negative monopole at the other. Absorptive glass mats can be advantageously inserted between each plate. Sealing of the plates is achieved in the laboratory by the use of gaskets of appropriate thickness and made of say butyl or silicone rubber sheet. The entire assembly is held together by metal straps and bolts of suitable length. In a commercial battery, in a preferred feature of the invention, the plates are sealed into a pre-moulded plastic container, with slots for each plate. A certain amount of compression of the glass mat and of the paste can be engendered by correct dimensioning of the container.
- Such compression has been found to aid the adhesion of the paste to the bipolar electrode substrate.
- Low concentration sulphuric acid can be added followed by a lid having grooves which will seal onto the edges of each plate, placed on the top.
- the lid can advantageously also contain a suitable gas pressure regulating system.
- the battery is then electrically formed in the usual way.
- the acid increases in strength, by the conversion of the sulphate-containing paste to PbO 2 on the positive plate and Pb metal on the negative.
- the initial strength of the sulphuric acid should be chosen to ensure that the final strength of the acid is in the range 30-40% by mass of sulphuric acid, or even higher.
- Phosphoric acid can also be advantageously added in part or total replacement of the more usual sulphuric acid.
- Batteries made by this method have high power and energy density, high specific power and energy. They have high cycle life, even in deep discharge conditions, and can be manufactured cheaply with conventional technology.
- monopolar plates can be made by substituting for one side of the mould a flat plate and then placing a metallic grid or mesh in the mould before the uncured resin and the suboxide materials are placed in the mould.
- the metal grid or mesh will be pressed into one side of the formed electrode, giving it excellent planar conductivity for the purposes of a monopolar or end plate.
- the metal grid or mesh should not be exposed to the electrolyte otherwise it will corrode.
- metal studs are electrically attached to the metal grid or mesh to provide terminal connections.
- Lead or lead alloy foils can also be advantageously applied to the reverse face of the electrode in the mould instead of the metal grid or mesh to provide good planar conductivity for the monopolar or end electrodes.
- Metal plates, grids or meshes may be advantageously incorporated into the bipolar plates in order to increase the planar conductivity and ensure good current distribution over the full area of the electrodes. Cooling channels can be introduced into the bipolar plates in like manner.
- all parts may be joined into a single jig, but they may also be provided singly or in arrangements with two or more parts. Preferably three parts are arranged in line. Preferably each part, either when provided singly or in combination, has vacuum means.
- the composition may be in the form of a liquid, gel, granules, chips, powder, flakes or other form and optionally contains conductive and/or non-conductive filler in the form of powder, fibres, granules, beads, flakes or chips.

- FIG. 8 is a sectional view of an embodiment of a closure port according to the invention.
- a jig J comprising a body made of a light low density metal such as aluminium, or any other material suitable for the operating temperature low density material is preferred so that the jig is more easily handled.
- the jig J comprises up to three parts or zones, these are a frame 1 to receive a composition, an optional foil or sheet lid applicator 2 , and an optional pick up device 3 . In the embodiment discussed below, all three parts 1 , 2 , 3 are present.
- the jig comprises the open frame 1 which is fractionally smaller than the size of a cavity C of a mould M ( FIG. 3A ).
- the frame 1 has an open bottom 4 .
- the frame 1 can therefore be used to pick up and carry a foil or sheet F 1 on its underside ( FIG. 3 ).
- a slot 6 may be present on the underside of the jig to define space between the frame 1 and the lid applicator 2 .
- the presence of the foil or sheet F 1 closes the bottom opening of the frame and effectively transforms the frame into an open top container or vessel V to receive a measured aliquot of a heat-curable resin composition 7 .
- the composition 7 can be spread across the area of the vessel V by a doctor blade or similar, or by shaking or vibrating, or evenly dispensed by a funnel arrangement, possibly with a wide spout being moved over the appropriate area of the vessel V.
- the foil F 1 may be made of any metal or alloy used in batteries, fuel cells, electrochemical treatment devices or reactors, for example lead or a lead alloy, nickel or nickel alloy or at least one of the foils comprises a metal from the group platinum, gold, silver, palladium, rhodium, yttrium, iridium, ruthenium, zinc, osmium, rhenium, tantalum, bismuth, antimony, tin, vanadium, cobalt, cerium, aluminium, titanium, copper, indium, or an alloy thereof.
- the foil F 1 is replaced by a sheet such as paper label, plastic film or a laminate of different metals, e.g. lead and copper or nickel or their alloys.
- the foil F 1 is replaced by a paper label.
- the lid applicator 2 also has vacuum holes, not shown, to hold a foil or sheet lid F 2 on its underside and may be separated by a slot 8 from the pick up device 3 .
- the lid applicator 2 is used to place the second foil or sheet F 2 on top of the heat curable resin composition 7 in the mould cavity C.
- the pick-up device 3 (not shown in cross section) is also equipped with vacuum holes and is advantageously used to pick up and remove any finished part from the mould M at the start of each cycle. Other methods of ejection of the part, such as ejector pins can also be used.
- Fast cavity loading proceeds as follows: a vacuum is drawn via the holes 5 in the frame 1 to draw foil or sheet F 1 on to the frame 1 of the jig J to provide the vessel V.
- the curable composition 7 is added as shown in FIG. 3A .
- the lid applicator 2 of the jig J is optionally moved to a location where it can be, and is, similarly loaded with the second foil or sheet F 2 . Both foils may be loaded simultaneously at parts 1 and 2 of the jig J.
- the jig J may also advantageously comprise cutting devices such as retractable cookie cutters fitted to aid cutting of the foil to size from, for example, a roll of foil material.
- the jig J When loaded in this way, the jig J is moved until the pick up device 3 is presented to the open and heated cavity which contains a previously cured part, which is attached to the pick up device 3 , by a vacuum, following which the jig J is raised vertically to remove the finished part from the mould cavity.
- the frame 1 having its foil or sheet F 1 containing the composition 7 is presented to and placed in or a short distance above the cavity C of the heated mould M. Guide pins, not shown, may be used to locate the vessel V accurately. The vacuum is then released so that the foil or sheet F 1 and the heat curable composition 7 locates or remains in the cavity C as frame 1 is lifted vertically.
- Jig J is then quickly moved (to the left as shown) until the lid applicator 2 , previously loaded with the second foil or sheet F 2 , is presented to the cavity C, and its vacuum is released.
- the foil or sheet F 2 falls or locates on to the loaded composition 7 .
- Applicator 2 is lifted vertically, leaving the second foil or sheet F 2 on top of the composition 7 .
- the jig J is moved away so that the tool housing the mould M can be closed.
- the time between the heat curable composition 7 being placed in the heated cavity C and the cavity being closed and pressure applied can, by this method, be as short as about 3 seconds and no more than 10 seconds, ensuring that the effects of premature curing are minimised. As shown in FIG.
- the closed mould period the resin liquefies and flows to the extremities of the cavity C.
- some flash is formed to ensure that the cavity C is completely filled and flash pockets 8 can be advantageously designed into the mould M for this purpose.
- the cavity C may advantageously have slightly raised resin seal structures ( 9 ) in parts of the mould M to restrict the possible flow of liquid resin over the ends of the foil or sheet F 1 , F 2 during the curing process.
- the jig J can be advantageously moved to a location to deposit the previously cured part for finishing and further processing as required.
- Frame 1 and the lid applicator 2 are then moved to a loading station and are recharged with foils or sheets F 1 , F 2 and an aliquot of composition 7 .
- the tool is opened. Immediately the cycle then restarts, as described above.
- the invention is not limited to the above embodiment.
- the parts of the jig J may be separate.
- the foil or sheet F 1 may be the same size as the cavity C; in some cases, advantageously it may be several mm smaller than the size of the cavity C.
- the second foil or sheet F 2 may be slightly smaller than the first foil or sheet F 1 , in which case the second foil or sheet F 2 can be placed on top of the composition 7 in the vessel V as shown in FIG. 3B .
- the jig J may also carry nozzles for the periodic application of mould release agent, or brushes for periodic cleaning of the mould cavity.
- the second foil or sheet F 2 ′ can be picked up by a vacuum system, a second part of the jig—in a way analogous to the first foil or sheet on Part 1 , but in this case there is no requirement for part 2 ′ to consist of a frame.
- Part 2 ′ (see FIG. 8 ) is similarly sized, i.e. slightly smaller than the size of the cavity to be loaded.
- a previously shaped plastic frame 10 can also be loaded into the mould cavity C by part 1 ′ of the Jig J′, in a secondary action after (or before) picking up the first foil or sheet F 1 .
- the preformed plastic frame 10 may contain other features such as holes and valves, which could be of importance should the finished part be utilised in a bipolar electrochemical cell or battery.
- FIG. 5 shows an arrangement whereby an extra vacuum system 13 is applied in part 1 of jig J to hold the preformed plastic frame part 10 ,
- part 1 ′ of the jig J′ is presented to the mould cavity as described above, both vacuums are released; depositing foil or sheet F 1 , the heat curable composition 7 and the premoulded frame 10 into the cavity C.
- the counterpart of the mould tool is applied to close the cavity.
- FIG. 7 shows a detail of how the closed mould tool, the foils or sheets F 1 , F 2 , the heat curable composition 7 and the preformed frame 10 would appear in cross section whilst the heat and pressure are being applied.
- FIG. 7 also illustrates an optional possibility of a tongue feature 12 being moulded into the heat curable composition which has a counterpart groove feature in the preformed frame 10 to facilitate assembly of a muticell electrochemical cell or battery.
- Ebonex ceramic is an electrically conductive ceramic material comprising Magnéli phase suboxides of titanium and is manufactured by Atraverda Limited, Roseheyworth Business Park, Abertillery, Gwent, NP13 1SX, UK.
- a two-compartment jig J of the type depicted in FIG. 1 was fabricated from aluminium and connected to a vacuum pump by a series of pipes and valves such that vacuum could be independently applied and released to the holes 5 on the underside of the frame 1 and to holes on the underside of section 2 of jig J.
- Thin lead foil F 1 was cut to the requisite size and placed against the holes 5 in frame 1 .
- a vacuum was applied to the holes in order to hold the foil securely in position and a second foil F 2 was positioned against the vacuum holes on the underside of section 2 of jig J.
- An amount of a 1:1.5 weight ratio mixture of a thermoset resin/hardener combination and Ebonex powder was placed in the cavity formed in frame 1 by the foil F 1 .
- a multi-part mould tool had been bolted to the upper and lower platens of an up-stroking compression press and pre-heated to 200° C.
- the jig J was then advanced into the throat of the press and positioned over the cavity in the base of the mould tool.
- the vacuum to section 1 of jig J was released allowing the charge of lead foil and Ebonex ceramic-resin to be placed in to the mould cavity while maintaining the vacuum applied to the foil in contact with section 2 .
- the position of the jig J was then altered to position section 2 of the jig J over the mould cavity.
- the vacuum to section 2 was then released thereby detaching the second lead foil to lie directly on the upper surface of the Ebonex powder-resin mixture contained within the mould cavity.
- the jig J was then lifted clear of the mould base and completely removed from the throat of the press.
- the press platens were then closed and the charge pressed at 200° C. for around 1 minute and at a pressure sufficient to produce
- the resulting formed plate and associated flash was rapidly ejected and stripped from the mould tooling and placed on a flat surface to cool to ambient temperature.
- the moulded plate was deflashed and was suitable for use as a bipolar electrode in a bipolar lead-acid battery.
- multiple jigs J may be mounted in a side-by-side or other arrangement to allow loading of multiple mould cavities C at the same time.
